# Objective
- The `many_lights` example uses a for-loop around `commands.spawn`.
- It is generally recommended to use `spawn_batch` instead to lazily
spawn entities, because it doesn't massively grow the command queue.
## Solution
- Use `spawn_batch` in `many_lights` example.
---
## Discussion
- `thread_rng` is called for each light spawned. This is a simple
thread-local `Rc` clone, so it should compile down to a copy and an
increment + decrement instruction.
- I created `golden_ration` outside of the closure and `move`d it in.
This should just be a copy and hopefully will get const-evaluated away.
Would it be better to just move it into the closure itself?
## Performance
Using `spawn_batch` seems to decrease time-to-first-`Update` by 0.1s:
1.3s to 1.2s.

Stress tests
These examples are used to stress test Bevy's performance in various ways. These should be run with the "stress-test" profile to accurately represent performance in production, otherwise they will run in cargo's default "dev" profile which is very slow.
Example Command
cargo run --profile stress-test --example <EXAMPLE>
